Hi Phillipus,

I have a laptop running debian unstable with a Gforce GX chipset in it.
Here are the packages ive got installed (note im running unstable,
pretty sure there isnt much difference between that and testing)

bash-2.05b$ dpkg -l |grep nvidia
ii  nvidia-glx     1.0.4496-8     NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x driver
ii  nvidia-kernel- 1.0.4496-5     NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux
2.4.22
ii  nvidia-kernel- 1.0.4496-3     NVIDIA binary kernel module common
files
ii  nvidia-kernel- 1.0.4496-8     NVIDIA binary kernel module source

I also get deb-src's, so perhaps the other modules are in there, add
'deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main non-free contrib'
to your sources.list and see if you get the additional packages under
dselect/apt.

I used the instructions from
http://channel.debian.de/faq/ch-confighw.html#s-nvidia to get it up and
running, it's in german, but shell commands dont care about that ;)

You have to build the package yourself and then install it as a module
for your specific kernel version.

Good Luck!

Cheers,

Shane.
